    Python installing on Debian

    Hello there,

    I'm using Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable (sarge) as an operating system.
    About a month ago, I installed python 2.3 on my machine, from the sources.

    And it worked perfectly. But about 3 weeks ago, I made a update of the
    packages list (apt-get update) followed by a apt-get dist-upgrade. I short,
    I upgraded Debian.

    But among the ugraded packages was python2.3. And it doesn't seem to
    install properly. Here is the error message (it is in french, since my
    mother tongue is french...) :

    # apt-get install package
    [...]
    Paramétrage de python2.3 (2.3.3-6) ...
    Compiling python modules in /usr/lib/python2.3 ...
    'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
    SyntaxError: ('future feature rested_snopes is not defined',)

    SyntaxError: ('from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the
    file',)

    SyntaxError: ('from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the
    file',)

    SyntaxError: ('from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the
    file',)

    SyntaxError: ('from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the
    file',)

    File "/usr/lib/python2.3/test/badsyntax_nocar et.py", line 2
    [x for x in x] = x
    SyntaxError: can't assign to list comprehension

    dpkg : erreur de traitement de python2.3 (--configure) :
    le sous-processus post-installation script a retourné une erreur de sortie
    d'état 1
    Des erreurs ont été rencontrées pendant l'exécution :
    python2.3
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)



    But there are some python programs I am using that works fine. But this
    line :

    'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

    appears very often when I run python programs (but the program itself works
    fine).

    When using apt-get, the package I am installing installs fine, same thing
    when I am removing a program, but the error message always appears at the
    end, and it is very annoying.

    Can someone help me out?

    Thanks a lot,

      Hello there,

      In unstable, it isn't uncommon for packages to become broken, which you
      might know by now, but just in case you didn't. It might be that the
      python2.3 package has grown broken. Try 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get
      install python2.3' to more specifically trace the problem.

      You say you compiled python2.3 from source, right? Is it neccesary that
      you have both the debian version and the source? I would say that if the
      source compilation is working, it would be more preferable to have that
      than deal with the hassle of the possibly broken python2.3 package in
      unstable.

      I've used testing, unstable, and now finally stable. I know that in both
      testing and unstable there are bound to be times when things you download
      won't work. You could build your own dpkg of the source compilation you
      did and submit it to the unstable release if you'd like.

      If you didn't install it from online source code, I'm sure you should be
      able to, and then follow through with the advise above.

      Of course, being in stable now I can't fully check the unstable problem,
      but, you could repost this question in the linux.debian.us er newsgroup for
      further information. Being unable to read french, I'm unsure if I can
      fully understand the little tidbits of the error messages, as well.

      Hope this helps so far,
      ~Ryan
